Chewbacca

According to\u00a0this listing<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0Toysrus.com<\/b>, it looks like Hasbro will be releasing some sort of deluxe set of figures from the upcoming Force Unleashed video game.<\/p>\n

The site is saying these will begin shipping by 8\/10\/07, but take that with a grain of salt as the game itself has been pushed back to early 2008, and Hasbro has said that the figures they are producing for the game will also be pushed back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kubrick News Galore<\/b><\/span>
\nJune 23, 2007 | 7:25 AM EST |\u00a0Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The intrepid team at\u00a0JediDefender<\/a>\u00a0have gotten word from this weekend’s Parco Museum Show in Japan which showcased a starship load of new Kubrick products. In what is sure to be a divisive and inevitable move, the Prequel Trilogy will be prominently featured in the next 2 series.<\/p>\n

Series 8<\/b>\u00a0covers Episode I and consists of:\u00a0Anakin Skywalker (Pod Racer), Qui-Gon Jinn, Darth Maul (w\/o Sith Robe), Battle Droid, Queen Amidala and C-3PO.<\/b><\/p>\n

Series 9<\/b>\u00a0covers Episode II and consists of:\u00a0Anakin Skywalker, Count Dooku, Jango Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Clonetrooper (White) and Yoda.<\/b><\/p>\n

But that’s not all! Also shown was a new Kubrick\u00a0Prequel 5-Pack<\/b>\u00a0with\u00a0Super Battle Droid, Jango Fett (Rocket Pack Version), Padme Amidala (EII), TC-14, and Clonetrooper Captain (Red Designation).<\/b><\/p>\n

Want more? Okay. Also revealed was a\u00a0Darth Maul with Sith Speeder Set<\/b>(similar to the Biker Scout with Speeder Bike Set). The Darth Maul differs from the Series 8 version as this one includes his Sith Robes from the encounter on Tatooine.<\/p>\n

There is also going to be a\u00a0Shadow Guard<\/b>\u00a0which for those who don’t know is essentially a Black Version of the Red Emperor’s Royal Guard. Which will probably end up being a carded show exclusive somewhere down the road.<\/p>\n

And finally, as a nod to the bootleg figures from the vintage line, a\u00a0Uzay Blue Star<\/b>\u00a0figure. The Uzay Blue Stars were essentially Blue Snowtroopers and were released overseas in Turkey.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Entertainment Earth<\/a>\u00a0a revision case of vintage style figures will be available in July.<\/p>\n

If their numbers are correct, this assortment will contain\u00a0SIX<\/b>\u00a0Snowtroopers. However, the totals they show only account for 11 figures in a case, not 12.<\/p>\n

Now with extra Snowtrooper Action Figures!<\/b>\u00a0Expertly crafted for the action figure fan of 2007, this case of 12 individually packaged 3 3\/4-inch Action Figures in retro-styled premium packaging includes: 1x Princess Leia Organa (Battle Poncho), 6x Imperial Stormtrooper (Hoth Battle Gear, aka Snowtrooper), 1x Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues), 1x Han Solo (Hoth Battle Gear), 1x Bossk, and 1x IG-88. (Subject to change.)\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

This is very good news for all you army builders out there and hopefully shows that Hasbro is listening more to the demand for such figures that collectors are catering for… next up, Death Star Playset (yeah don’t you wish!)!!!<\/p>\n

\nA collector should be one who helps others. That’s the peace, love, and collecting motto Marjorie and Arnie have been trying to spread for nearly 100 episodes. This week they put their gas money where their mouths are and go on a massive 16 hour toy run not to see what they can get for themselves, but what they can get for others. They took the microphone along and recorded the results of hitting Targets and Wal Marts and Starbucks (Oh My!).
\nAlso this week Marjorie fondly recalls her first Star Wars collectibles that came out in conjunction with the Star Wars Special Edition movies. And it wasn’t something you could buy in stores…<\/p>\n

You can download this week’s show from\u00a0www.swactionnews.com<\/a>\u00a0or directly from\u00a0here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Hasbro Confirms UGH List<\/b><\/span>
\nJune 19, 2007 | 6:05 PM EST |\u00a0Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Hasbro officially confirms all 12 UGH Gold Coin Chase Figures in our QnA this week. Not only that, they clarify the Case Asortments they are packed in. Here’s the skinny.<\/p>\n

There will be four ratios, each with three of the gold foil logo\/coin UGH variants.<\/p>\n

87500000H<\/b>\u00a0Galactic Marine, R2-D2 and Mace Windu
\n87500000J<\/b>\u00a0Concept Stormtrooper, Han Solo and Luke (Yavin Ceremony)
\n87500000K<\/b>\u00a0Concept Boba Fett, Darth Vader and Biggs (X-Wing)
\n87500000U<\/b>\u00a0Concept Chewbacca, Animated Boba Fett and Airborne Trooper<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the Animated Boba Fett will be in each of the ratios as a regular figure in addition to the 000U ratio. Basically, the UGH series will be waved in with almost the entire Wave 4 run, but then we will be chasing higher-demand figures (like the Animated Boba Fett and McQuarrie Vader) in subsequent waves throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

I managed to pick up a half dozen of these sets when they hit $2.48 in the clearance aisle talk about a quick way to bolster the Clone ranks.<\/p>\n

One of four planned variants to the Battle Droids is featured here, this set includes your standard issue Battle Droid and a Battle Droid Commander that at first glance looks like OOM-9, but this version doesn’t have the smaller antenna accessory. The sculpt used for both Battle Droids is the one from the Saga\u00a0C-3PO with Droid Factory Assembly Line<\/a>\u00a0Deluxe Set. Do yourself a favor and get some display bases for these two as their legs are extremely rubbery and pliable. And for those keeping track, this set includes the Episode I: The Phantom Menace movie coin.<\/p>\n

While at first glance this figure might seem to be a straight repack – it isn’t. This version sports a minty fresh, non-battle damaged deco. Although an all-white EIII Clone never made an official appearance on screen, this is probably what they looked like before heading down to the Republic paint booth for those unit specific accents : P<\/p>\n

This EU set giveth us 2 new figures the amnesiatic Jedi Quinlan Vos and the Devonarian thug Vilmarh “Villie” Grahrk. Everything from the waist up on these two are really pretty good but they lack any significant leg, knee or ankle articulation which pretty much necessitates the use of a base\/figure stand (especially for Vos) to display them in any sort of dramatic pose.<\/p>\n

There is an new item showing up in overseas online\u00a0store listings.<\/a>\u00a0It’s a battle pack of sorts dubbed “Kashyyyk AT-RT Patrol Twin Pack”. This new battle pack features two AT-RT’s (All Terrain Recon Transport) with three Kashyyyk troopers. This will probably be packaged similarly to the Treachery on Saleucami Battle Pack. No photos have surfaced yet, but we’ll post it when it surfaces. It is scheduled for release 7\/31\/07 for $29.99<\/p>\n

Thanks to YakReader “PaulSkywalker” for the tip.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0This set was part of the Target DCPI list (#087-06-0343 – AT-RT Assault Squad) that was making the rounds back in early May. It is rumored to be shown at next month’s SDCC. Thanks to my pal Jeff from JediDefender for the reminder and additional info.<\/span><\/p>\n

Legacy of the Force Sacrifice Reviewed<\/b><\/span>
\nJune 10, 2007 | 10:45 AM EST |\u00a0Bill<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/center>
\nOK, it’s been a little over a week since the latest installment of the 9 novel Legacy of the Force Series hit shelves, so it’s time to bring a relatively spoiler free review of the book. Sacrifice marks the half-way point in the Legacy of the Force Series. Karen Traviss’ writing style continues to sync perfectly with Allston and Denning. The approach of having three authors who are already very comfortable in the Star Wars Universe trading off writing duties throgh the course of the series is working extremely well. They styles mesh so that on picking up this novel, you are already emmersed back into the the Post New Jedi Order world, right where Exile left off.<\/p>\n

This novel focuses around Jacen’s evolution into a Dark Lord, and really has a much smaller cast of characters than the Dramatis Personae would suggest. In fact, the action really centers on Jacen, Ben Skywalker, Mara, Luke, Boba Fett and a few Mandaloreans, with what could best be described as cameos by Jaina, Cal Omas, Leia, Han and others. Many of these Cameos are almost completely “off-screen”, and are mentioned in the context of a comlink communication.<\/p>\n

Traviss brings us deeper into the world and mindset of the Mando, as she started in her Repulic Commando series, and as such Boba Fett fans will want to read this novel for that reason alone. There is also an extremely well written subplot focused on Fett’s latest challenge (the one you read about in Exile and before), which is coming to a climax, as well as how Mandaloran society functions. She even brings back a now very old Mandalorean’s best friend from the Repulic Commando series. Oh, and there’s a major homage to a certain scene in the Empire Strikes Back involving Boba Fett which lays the groundwork for us to see another whole side of Fett in the future. This is completely in addition to the new Boba Fett, Statesman which surfaces in Mandalore.<\/p>\n

In keeping the review relatively spoiler free we won’t tell you Jacen’s new Sith name (which was announced on Star Wars.com to be revealed in this novel), however it is revealed on the last page of the book. In addition, Traviss does an outstanding job of keeping both the reader and even Jacen guessing as to who and what his sacrifice will be. In true Sith fashion, even once the act is done, its meaning is not readily apparent, and Jacen’s final insight into its meaning will have very profound implications for the long term future of the Star Wars Universe.<\/p>\n

This was an excellent novel, and I highly recommend it.<\/span><\/p>\n

As long as it’s some sort of movie crossover with Star Wars involved, it qualifies and one forum member who participates will win a free TAC Death Star Trooper and a TAC Yavin Honor Guard at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Luke Skywalker Yavin Ceremony Saber\u00a0Variant<\/i><\/b><\/span>
\nJune 4, 2007 | 2:29 PM EST |\u00a0Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Reports around the web are that a “corrected” version of the Yavin Ceremony Luke is starting to hit retail. While I have yet to see this “correction” personally, I have seen the photos, and the correction is purely cosmetic. What Hasbro’s paint shop has done is omitted the black accent on the band and the emitter portions on the sculpt of the Vader lightsaber hilt. So, what we are left with is essentially an Episode II version of Anakin’s Saber\u00a0NOT<\/b>\u00a0the correct Anakin EIII\/Luke EIV saber hilt.<\/p>\n

This “corrected” hilt is also the one that is currently shipping on the belt of the #18 Luke Skywalker (Moisture Farmer) from Wave 3.<\/p>\n

While these type of errors don’t matter or unknown to a good portion of collectors, it is just one of my major pet peeves. Sorry for the rant. : P<\/span><\/p>\n
